Paula McLain
Paula McLain was motivated to write this wonderful book after reading Ernest Hemingway's memoir"A Moveable Feast" a book about his early Paris years. In this book Hemingways description of his first marriage and his line"I wished I had died before I ever loved anyone but her" moved Mclain by its poignancy and she developed a strong interest in Hadley Richardson. During her research into Hadley, Paula Mclain found that hundreds of letters existed written between Hemingway and Hadley Richardson. She admits that she fell in love with Hadley Richardson, whose charecter and her marriage to Hemingway inspired this simply beautiful book.
I would recommend this book to anyone but think it would make a great bookclub choice
